Chapter 92: King An's Dowry
In the early morning of the next day, in order to cooperate with King An to successfully borrow the disaster silver, Chu Lixue specially hired a team of gongs and drums to follow behind King An and others.
When the group came to the gate of the Wei State Mansion, they saw that the door was closed, thinking that the other party had already known that they would come to his mansion to ask for disaster money, and they refused to open the door no matter how they knocked.
Chu Lixue sat in the sedan chair and glanced at Li Ping, and then heard Li Ping say loudly: "The Holy Lord has given a golden plaque to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and the Duke of Wei is invited to come out and receive it." ”
Such a shout not only made the people in the house listen, but even the people on the street stopped to watch the next development. When Wei Guogong heard that it was the emperor's golden plaque, he didn't think much about it and ordered someone to open the door.
"Old minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Wei Guogong walked out of the door with his head down, and hurriedly knelt down.
Seeing this, Dingguo Gong waved one hand, and someone walked forward with a plaque written on the house of goodness, and the emperor was in the lower right corner.
Seeing this, Li Ping knew that this was the best time, and immediately said loudly: "According to the emperor's instructions, the Duke of Wei donated one million taels of silver to the people in the disaster area, and gave a plaque to the family of Jishan as a reward. ”
Hearing this, Wei Guo almost vomited blood angrily, one million taels of silver, so much silver, in exchange for a worthless plaque, he would not agree to such a thing.
Thinking of this, Wei Guogong stuffed the plaque back into the guard's hand, "I don't have so much money, I don't want this plaque, this plaque." Let's go. "Anyway, Wei Guogong turned around and was going back, where could Li Ping let him go back, if the Wei Guogong Mansion couldn't come up with the money, then the other mansions would be the same, and the disaster relief would be even more difficult.
Li Ping is a person who practices martial arts, and with a strong lift, he lifted Wei Guogong's feet off the ground, and said in a panic: "What are you doing?" Let me down, I'm the grandfather of the country, you dare to hurt me, beware of walking around if you can't eat. ”
"Grandpa Guo doesn't have to worry about whether there will be trouble in the future, let's worry about yourself first, this is the emperor's decree, if you dare to resist the decree, it is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, but Grandpa Guo has to weigh it clearly." After finishing speaking, Li Ping put Wei Guogong down.
Hearing Li Ping like this, Wei Guogong was also stunned for a while, if it was for one million taels of silver, it was indeed not worth the life of a family, but with so much money, he felt pain when he thought about it, who came up with this bad idea, I cursed him not to die well.
"Ahh ”
"Wei Guogong, do you want to resist the decree? If I don't want to, I'll go back and reply to the emperor, and King An will testify to this. Ding Guogong threatened lightly.
Wei Guogong looked at the unkind Dingguo Gong and his accompanying officials, and their attitude was very tough, and this King An, it was clear that he was just coming to see the excitement, and he wouldn't help himself speak at all, even if he opened his mouth, he would go to Dingguogong's side, even if it was a ruin to avoid disaster.
Immediately, Wei Guogong waved his hand and motioned for the little servant to open all the doors and let people go in and count the silver and take them away. When the ladies of the Wei Mansion heard about this, they ran out crying, completely ignoring the image and snatching the silver taels from the guards, and some even sat directly on the boxes and sprinkled them.
Seeing this, Dingguo Gong roared angrily: "Presumptuous, this is the emperor's decree, do you want to resist the decree?" Wei Guogong, today you have received the plaque of the Emperor's Imperial Benevolence House, if you connive at your wife and concubine to make trouble, if it reaches the emperor's ears, you ......"
"Okay, don't make a fuss, let them move, let me go back to the backyard, what do you look like here." Wei Guogong said angrily.
Hearing this, Wei Guogong's wives and concubines were not crying at the time, and they were not convinced, and they left the front yard with the handkerchiefs in their hands.
The farce of Wei Guogong's Mansion also came to an end, one million taels of silver, all of which were taken away, Wei Guogong looked at the few big boxes that were moved away, and his heart hurt, but what can be done, the other party is holding the imperial gold plaque, what to donate, it is clear that it is robbing. The faint king spent the treasury empty for his own pleasure, and now he is in trouble and wants them to bleed, so he helped him ascend to the throne in the first place.
If he hadn't helped this faint monarch at the beginning, but let King Chen ascend the throne, maybe there would have been no such thing. Although there is no way to go back to the past, the Duke of Wei will no longer help that faint monarch from now on.
With the precedent of the Wei State Mansion, the other mansions were naturally much smoother, and soon, more than a dozen gold plaques were replaced by white flowers. The Duke of Dingguo instructed a special person to register and make a book, and the two silver seals were properly stored, played to the emperor, and transported to the disaster area.
The flood near Shuining Village has receded, and the disaster silver that the people have been waiting for day and night has finally arrived smoothly, except for a few people involved in this matter who know that this is all the credit of Chu Lixue, but they all claim that it is the emperor who did this good thing.
While the people were grateful to Dade, there were also people who hated this emperor so much that they couldn't immediately pull him off the throne and beat him severely.
The disaster silver arrived in time, and the matter in the disaster area was quickly resolved, and King Chen arranged the follow-up work, and he was about to leave for Yuncheng, and after he went back, he had to hurry up and propose to the eldest princess's mansion.
On this day, King Chen came to the eldest princess's mansion with Liuyue, and was just about to mention the matter of marrying Chu Lixue, when he saw someone outside the door carrying in a large box of things, which was also tied with red silk, which was clearly the rhythm of the dowry.
"Yihan, my aunt knows that Qinghe is Princess Chen, but now that the disaster has just passed, you are really not suitable to use so many dowry gifts to propose marriage at this time." The eldest princess reproached.
"Auntie, this ...... I didn't let someone bring it, as my aunt said, just after the disaster, King Chen's Mansion didn't have so much money to buy these things, which Lixue can understand me. ”
"So where did all this stuff come from?" The eldest princess was also confused for a while.
Chu Lixue is now going to the county lord of Qinghe, and ordinary people will definitely not come to propose marriage, not to mention that it is a sensitive period just after the disaster, this person is really too bold and reckless.
Just thinking about it, I saw King An walking in in a purple prince's suit, and saw the eldest princess and King Chen smiled and said: "I didn't expect Yihan to be there, just right, uncle and I have a happy event today, you have to help well." ”
"Happy event?" The princess had a bad premonition in her heart.
"I don't know what kind of happy event my uncle is talking about?" King Chen said with a gloomy face.
"Uncle is going to marry the lord of Qinghe to be my princess, you also know that my princess has been dead for many years, and the position of the main concubine has been vacant for a long time.
"Brother Wang, what are you kidding, Qinghe is my daughter and your niece, how can you marry her to be your princess? Wouldn't it be a shame and a laugh when it spreads out? Lun? ”
"Sister Wang laughed, the county lord of Qinghe is just your daughter, and there is no blood relationship between you and me, and this king promised to help collect the disaster silver and also had a word with the county lord first, this king promised to help, she also promised this king one thing, this king is here today to let the county lord fulfill his promise."
"You ......" The eldest princess didn't know what to say for a while, could it be that Qinghe really agreed to him on any conditions? Poor child, King An is nearly sixty years old, and he is a person who can be her grandfather, and now he wants to marry her, doesn't this push people into the fire pit? What happiness is there?
"Uncle Wang, you are old enough to be Qinghe's grandfather, not to mention, I have already proposed marriage to my aunt, and I am waiting to come back from disaster relief to discuss marriage."
"Oh? And such a thing? So you can make a dowry? ”
"This ......" King Chen was speechless for a while, and did not give a dowry, which is not considered a courtesy, how can it be good now?
"How? It seems that you haven't given a dowry, so you can't blame Uncle Wang, my fair lady and gentleman, you like the lord of Qinghe, and this king also likes it, it has nothing to do with age. King An said proudly.
"Uncle Wang, how can you do this? Qinghe is so young, aren't you ruining her? King Chen gritted his teeth and said. But no matter how angry he is, he has to suppress his temper, the county lord of Qinghe is Chu Lixue's business, and he can't let others know, otherwise Lixue will be in danger.
"Yihan, why do you talk to the elders like this, this king is a dowry according to the rules, and there will be no shortage of three media and six certificates, but what about you? Running to rob a woman with Uncle Wang, is that what you should do as a junior? She will be your aunt in the future, and you don't want to break the rules. King An said displeased.
Chu Lixue naturally didn't know what was happening in the front hall, she was still thinking about the smell, a strange smell of spices, where had she smelled it.
Suddenly, Chu Lixue thought of something, this smell, yes, this smell is the same from those black-clothed people who attacked the Dingguo Mansion. Could it be that the person behind the curtain is King An? It's incredible, could it be that she's thinking in the wrong direction? Or is it that the other party is so good at disguise, he actually deceived so many people.
Just thinking about it, the waning moon walked quickly towards the courtyard where Chu Lixue lived.
"Miss, it's not good, King Na'an came with a large number of dowries, saying that he would marry you as his princess." Wanyue said anxiously. When she heard the news just now, she wanted to kill that old pervert with a sword, and she dared to fight the idea of someone her master liked, it was really a thing that didn't know whether to live or die.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue was shocked, "What? King An wants to marry himself as his princess? If he is really behind the scenes, then where is his intention to marry him? What exactly is his purpose? For a while, Chu Lixue wrinkled......
